[0029] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0030] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

The "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0032] Embodiment

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , which is an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a vertical multi-station horizontal rotating device, including:

[0034] A bracket component, including a motor support 7, a rotating support 10 arranged on one side of the motor support 7, a pneumatic and electrical integrated slip ring support 11 fixedly installed on the opposite side of the rotating support 10, a power transmission component arranged outside the motor support 7, and a pneumatic and electrical control component arranged outside the pneumatic and electrical integrated slip ring support 11. The bracket component is used to support and fix each functional component of the whole device;

[0035] Horizontal rotating component, including a drive shaft 15, a drive rotating disk 1 fixedly mounted on a rotating bracket 10, a drive rotating disk connecting rod 2 hinged to the drive rotating disk 1, a rotating connecting rod 3 fixedly connected to the drive rotating disk connecting rod 2, a follower rotating disk 4 disposed on the surface of the rotating bracket 10, and a follower rotating disk connecting rod 5 connected to the follower rotating disk 4, wherein the drive rotating disk 1 is fixedly mounted on the rotating bracket 10 through the drive shaft 15 for achieving multi-station horizontal rotation movement;

[0036] Connecting component, including a connecting shaft 22, a first deep groove ball bearing 23, a second deep groove ball bearing 26 and a bearing end cover 24 disposed at both ends of the connecting shaft 22. The first deep groove ball bearing 23 and the second deep groove ball bearing 26 are double-row deep groove ball bearings for bearing radial and axial combined loads;

[0037] Book supporting component, including a horizontal book supporting plate 13, a cross-shaped book supporting frame 6 disposed on the rotating connecting rod 3, and a rotary cylinder 12 disposed on the horizontal book supporting plate 13, wherein the cross-shaped book supporting frame 6 is mounted on the rotating connecting rod 3 through the horizontal book supporting plate 13 for carrying and maintaining the horizontal state of books and periodicals.

[0038] Specifically, the power transmission component includes a motor 8 disposed on the surface of a motor bracket 7, a first synchronous pulley 17 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 8 and a synchronous belt 9, a second synchronous pulley 25 drivingly connected to the first synchronous pulley 17 through the synchronous belt 9, and a tensioning device 16 disposed on the rotating bracket 10 for transmitting power to the drive shaft 15; the motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the motor bracket 7 through bolts, and the output shaft of the motor 8 is connected to the first synchronous pulley 17 through a flat key and a setscrew.

[0039] Furthermore, the synchronous belt 9 is not only made of high-strength material, but also its design takes into account the shock absorption characteristics to reduce the vibration generated during operation and ensure that the torque of the motor 8 can still be stably transmitted to the drive shaft 15 under high-speed operating conditions.

[0040] It should be noted that the connection method between the motor 8 and the synchronous pulley 17 through the flat key and the setscrew ensures the tight and gapless fit between the two, thus achieving efficient power transmission, reducing energy loss and improving the working efficiency of the overall device.

[0041] Specifically, the pneumatic and electrical control component includes a first pneumatic and electrical integrated slip ring 18 fixedly mounted on the surface of a pneumatic and electrical integrated slip ring bracket 11, a second pneumatic and electrical integrated slip ring 21 disposed on the surface of the drive rotating disk connecting rod 2, and a solenoid valve 19 fixedly connected to the second pneumatic and electrical integrated slip ring 21 for achieving the transmission and control of the pneumatic circuit and the electrical circuit; the first pneumatic and electrical integrated slip ring 18 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the pneumatic and electrical integrated slip ring bracket 11 through its own bracket for transmitting the pneumatic circuit, IO signal and power supply to the drive rotating disk 1.

[0042] Furthermore, both the first air-electric integrated slip ring 18 and the second air-electric integrated slip ring 21 are equipped with an overload protection mechanism. Once abnormal current or pressure is detected, the system will immediately cut off the power supply or gas supply to prevent damage caused by overload.

[0043] It should be noted that the design of the air-electric integrated slip ring aims to achieve seamless transmission of signals, electricity, and gas. Especially during rotation, it avoids the winding problems that may be caused by traditional wiring, ensuring the safety and stability of the system.

[0044] Specifically, a sliding groove is provided on the surface of the rotating bracket 10, and the tensioning device 16 is fixedly installed in the sliding groove through bolts for adjusting the tightness of the synchronous belt 9.

[0045] Furthermore, the tensioning device 16 is not only a simple mechanical component, but also equipped with a fine-tuning function, which can accurately adjust the tightness of the synchronous belt 9 according to actual needs to ensure the best performance of the drive system.

[0046] It should be noted that setting the tensioning device 16 is crucial for maintaining the best working state of the synchronous belt 9. Appropriate tension can not only reduce belt wear, but also improve transmission efficiency and reduce noise.

[0047] Specifically, a self-aligning bearing 14 is provided on the surface of the rotating bracket 10. One end of the drive shaft 15 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating bracket 10 through the self-aligning bearing 14, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first air-electric integrated slip ring 18 through another self-aligning bearing 14; the self-aligning bearing 14 includes an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is used in interference fit with the drive shaft 15, and the clearance between the outer ring and the bearing seat of the rotating bracket 10 is used in mutual cooperation. A thrust washer for axial positioning is provided on the end face of the outer ring of the self-aligning bearing 14.

[0048] Furthermore, the self-aligning bearing 14 on the rotating bracket 10 adopts a special design, so that even when the drive shaft 15 is skewed to a certain extent, it can automatically adjust the center position to ensure the smooth rotation of the drive shaft 15 and improve the reliability of the equipment operation.

[0049] It should be noted that the presence of the self-aligning bearing 14 is crucial for maintaining the concentricity of the drive shaft 15. It allows the drive shaft 15 to have a certain self-adjustment space, which is particularly important for long-term stable operation and can effectively extend the service life of the equipment.

[0050] Specifically, the horizontal book support plate 13 is fixedly installed on the rotating link 3 through a limit screw, and the rotary cylinder 12 is used to maintain the horizontal state of the cross book support 6 during rotation; the torque of the motor 8 is transmitted to the drive shaft 15 through the synchronous belt 9 to drive the drive rotating disk 1 to rotate, and then through the linkage of the drive rotating disk link 2, the rotating link 3 and the follower rotating disk link 5, the cross book support 6 is maintained horizontal during rotation.

[0051] Furthermore, a high-precision sensor is installed on the horizontal book support plate 13, and the sensor monitors the position and attitude of the cross book support 6 in real time to ensure that it always maintains a horizontal state during the entire rotation cycle.

[0052] It should be noted that through the precise cooperation between the horizontal book support plate 13 and the rotary cylinder 12, the cross book support 6 can make a smooth transition during both the start and stop phases without any shaking or tilting.

[0053] During use, when the motor 8 operates, the driving force is transmitted to the drive shaft 15 through the synchronous belt 9, causing the drive rotating disk 1 to rotate. The drive rotating disk 1 drives the follower rotating disk 4 to rotate through the full drive rotating disk link 2, the rotating link 3, and the follower rotating disk link 5. By restricting the degrees of freedom through multiple workstations, the cross book support 6 is maintained horizontal during planar movement; the air path, IO signal, and power supply are transmitted to the drive rotating disk 1 through the air-electric integrated slip ring 18, and the air path is dispersed to the second air-electric integrated slip rings 21 at each workstation through the solenoid valve 19, avoiding the winding phenomenon caused by the relative movement between the cross book support plate 13 and the drive rotating disk link 2. The air path and circuit are connected to the rotary cylinder 12 through the second air-electric integrated slip ring 21. When the drive rotating disk 1 rotates, the rotation of the rotary cylinder 12 is controlled through the solenoid valve 19, so as to achieve that the cross book support 6 can maintain horizontal when making a circular motion with the drive shaft 15 as the axis, and can make a rotary motion through the rotary cylinder 12 at any time period.

[0054] In summary, through the design of the vertical multi-station horizontal rotation structure, the efficient and stable commutation during the book packaging process is realized. By using the collaborative design of the modular support and the air-electric integrated slip ring, the winding problem of traditional equipment is solved. Through the linkage mechanism of the drive rotating disk 1 and the follower rotating disk 4, the horizontal stability of the cross book support 6 during rotation is ensured. The optimized structure of the aligning bearing 14 reduces the operating noise, greatly improving the production efficiency and product qualification rate of the device.
